Caption: | Egypt ancient Luxor Theban summit Valley Kings Tombs Ramses Tutankhamumin the centre of past the entrance to the Tomb of Ramses 1X to the entrance of that of Tutankhamum one of the most visited places in the world probably and certainly in Egypt is this desolate desert valley beneath the Theban mountain on the West Bank of the River Nile at Luxor famous for some of the most important Royal burials of this ancient civilisation. It is possible to climb over the hills above the Valley, pass above the huge amphitheatre of Deir el-Bahri above Hatshepsut’s spectacular Mortuary Temple and come down into Deir el-Medina, the workers village using the same paths as they must have done over 3000 years ago. |
